There has been some news regarding new Linux games and other alpha funding projects last week. Check them out below.

Summoning Wars

Summoning Wars is a free and open source role playing game inspired by Diablo series. The game is based on Ogre3D engine and is currently heavily under development. A new update was pushed last week bringing in new features and fixes. The game looks good, however only Windows and Mac build are available. You can get and compile source code for the game. Unfortunately, after I finished compiling, the game segfaulted everytime I tried to launch it. Hope they provide Linux binaries soon. Check out the one of the old gameplay videos below:

Cobalt

Multiplayer platformer action game Cobalt which will be published by Mojang will follow same Pay What You Want Model that Minecraft made popular. The game is being developed by Oxeye Studios and first alpha build will be released before the end of the year. Those who pre-order will get early access and subsequent upgrades. Meanwhile check out Cobalt EP that features some great tunes from well known artists. MineCon video below:
